Not what I expected

Rating: Null/10 (18 April 2004)

When I read the plot of this movie, I thought it would be something I would like. I thought the acting was cheesy and the characters were very one-dimensional. I didn't really care about the people at all. Tim Roth is a great actor and I think his talent was completely wasted on this. I was also disappointed in Giuseppe Tornatore. Cinema Paradiso is one of my favorite Italian movies. Another minor thing that bothered me was that it was obvious that they weren't playing their instruments (you'll have to forgive me on this one, it's just one of those things that I notice and that bugs me because I studied music when I was a kid). *Spoiler* I was happy when they blew up the ship at the end. I thought, Good riddance. I just wanted it to end. And thankfully, it did.
